Unknown Author
If the work does not have an author, cite the source by its title in the signal phrase or use the first word or two in the parentheses. Titles of books and reports are italicized; titles of articles, chapters, and web pages are in quotation marks.
What do you do when an article doesn't have an author?
When a work has no identified author, cite in text the first few words of the article title using double quotation marks, “headline” style capitalization, and the year.
What if there is no specific author and no date of publication given?
If a source is missing both the author or publication date, the citation will include the title, "n.d." for "no date," and the source. Make sure that there is no identifiable author. Sometimes the author is a company or other group rather than an individual.
